I'm not positive, but I believe that LG has the same protocols for most of it's TVs. So, you should try using another one of the LG templates to control your TV. I actually have access to one of these tvs and am going to see if I can get LMCE to control it. It's just that since I can't permanently use the tv, it hasn't been high on my priorities.

LMCE is just a smart "all under one roof" collection of various open source applications that do their job at best. And when you have problems, you can also search another "application oriented" resources.

For case of rs232, you connect your cable to either your win laptop and search for some programs that will let you to send commands for your tv. And you'll easily see if TV responds...

Well i might have found the first of my problems... the manual for the LCD says that I need a crossed cable and using my multimeter I have determined that mine is straight (i think). My pin labeled #2 on one side goes to the one labeled#2 on the other. From what I found on the net, #2 should go to #3 on a crossed cable.Now I guess I have to order a cable and wait.

I bought the proper cable today, but that hasnt improved my results yet. I have been trying to test the serial ports out with minicom on the KDE desktop but having no experience with mini com that is not going well either. Is anyone familiar with this program that could give me some help? I have all the settings configured but when I type my commands nothing happens at the command prompt, is the program supposed to give you any feedback?I would like to run terminal in windows, but I my windows laptop doesnt have a serial port.I think this is all probably pointless because I know others have their LG working with LMCE, I have a feeling my problem really lies within the admin site.Now that I have the new cable when I tried to send a command the log says device not found.

I have followed same guide for LG LCD TV. Its pretty good guide.The learning curve was finding out some codes are slightly different for the LG7000 series TV inputs, need to use xb instead of kb and had to convert the binary to HEX values. Some of the legacy codes still work for inputs 1-6 using kb, but to get the HDMI inputs you really need to use the correct xb command.

Best thing to do is connect your cable and test from the konsole /usr/pluto/bin/TestSerialPort -p /dev/ttyS0 -P N81 -b 9600 -t "ka 00 01\r"this should at least power the TV on. and you get a result 01 OK01

Now my problem is it works from konsole, but from LMCE im still getting errorRuby was unable to handle the command in reasonable amount of time <0x40800950>

the issue I ran into when I followed the wiki was LMCE did not like a few of the commands (the ones listed under ruby internal commands) and when it tried to initailize the device it would time out. So i ditched those commands, whittled the codes down to the bare minimum, ie got rid of the "log sending" part.After that my device worked from the orbiter
